Pouring and getting some pretty good gust

Happy now?

You asked for it.

The Pacific mid-latitude SSTs are also near the record for the date. This has helped to drive the daily -PDO closer to -2. So no surprise that global SSTs are at record levels also.

I hope we get more than 0.5" but not planning on it. Salivating seeing SNE rack it up. 2-3" would have been ideal Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

This Nino is about to go nuclear: ^ IMO the subsurface peaks at or around +12C. And the EURO keeps getting stronger with the next WWB forecast for August, which means s going to cause another DWKW. Here comes the NH coupling: IOD is now officially positive: And the “ELI” ENSO Longitude Index, which measures how far east/west the deep convection/forcing (standing wave) is, is now in 2nd place for the furthest east on record to date, only, you guessed it, 1997 was further east and not by much. With the 30C isotherm east of the dateline, it’s virtually guaranteed that this year takes 1st place on that index for having the furthest east main convective forcing:

wow

Sunny in Southbury, yesss.

Pouring here now

Incredible structure. Clear environment around it too, rare for central NC

yeah, look at the extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme dewpoints! it feels so good, pouring rain with dews matching the temps. i sure hope DIT is outside enjoying this

Holy downpour! Make that 3”+ now.

Albany two-day rainfall (POR to 1874): 1 6.12 1999-09-17 Floyd 2 5.72 2010-10-01 0 3 5.69 1999-09-16 See #1 4 5.41 1948-12-31 0 5 4.96 1950-09-01 0 6 4.92 1960-09-12 Donna 7 4.84 1971-08-28 Doria 8 4.83 2011-08-28 Irene - 4.83 1927-08-29 0 10 4.76 1903-10-09 0 KALB is up to 5.92 and should make it past 6.12 pretty easily.

HRRR likes our area with that stuff coming up and that band by springfield moving east

A few more structure shots:

1.3” here today

AI would get all fancy w/the clouds and ruin my day. Keep it retro and I'm in...

2.8” at mi casa.

I think theres a core issue here with Tor warnings in general. That being, even if there is a TOR, only a very small area of the warning will be actively impacted by the TOR itself. In that regard nearly every TOR warning is an "overwarning" as most of the square mileage of the warning won't be directly affected. For that reason, I think its fine to issue TOR warnings when the radar shows support one may develop as they are meant to be a predictor of a high chance one may occur. If the public fatigued its because they don't understand how warnings work in general. Therefore, the solution isn't to start underwarning but to educate people.

Congrats Enfield

McDonalds overall is awful now...not that it was ever particularly great but its extremely overpriced and significantly worse quality. Can let to to like Applebees or Chilis and get a better burger dinner for only a few extra bucks. The McDonalds across from BDL isn't bad though. Had a double quarter pounder from there not long back and it was great.

Wait...they offer other items beyond the filet o'fish?! It's like the only thing I can tolerate from there but it's been awhile since I've had one too. Pro Tip if you like these: some locations offer a DOUBLE filet o'fish that may only be available on the app. If they only give a standard dose of tartar sauce, it can be as dry as @dendrite's chicken run. If you gamble and go for extra tartar you may need to clean up like @ineedsnow after seeing a Kuchera totals map for a pending winter storm.
